Clarington and the OPP. Status Not open for further replies. Supposedly a Clarington councilor has motioned during one of the last meetings to have council look at Clarington moving to OPP policing. This is the third time he has tried.
It is based on the fact that stuff keeps on getting stolen out of his garage and it takes Durham Region hours to do the call. He has a place off of Rice Lake and supposedly it takes the OPP only minutes to do their calls. I am sure the call volume between DRPS and the Northumberland OPP are no were close, but the last two tries his motion was voted down, dues to obvious contract reasons with the Region.
So if you hear anything about OPP taking over Clarington, don't give it too much weight. I say errr because I am moving to Ajax from Mississauga in the near future. To be honest, DRPS wasn't really very interesting to listen too, even before the switch. They were using the MDT's a lot and voice traffic was a bit on the boring side. Except for a short burst of excitement and then it would die off just as fast.
It may sound strange, but I always found the OPP more interesting to listen to. On the flip side, I heard that it is costing the Region almost twice the amount on yearly costs then first told by Telus and still the coverage isn't where its supposed to be. When OPP are in Bowmanville, they are always talking to people and kids. VA3DBJ said:. Joined Jun 25, Messages 1, Location oshawa,ont,canada. Seen those come and go.. I'll be the first to acknowledge that yes there are some real good cops in the group, but I'll also be the first to say that we never see them in 16 division.
